The Home Paternity™ Test

Additional family members can be included in the tests. Additional charges apply.

DNA testing is the most accurate method available for determining paternity. Once each participant’s DNA profile is determined, the genetic data is compared. From this information a probability of paternity can be calculated. The probability for a positive result is 99.99999% in most cases, and always 0% if the man is not considered the biological father. 

For other relationship testing, the certainty of results may exhibit greater variability. For instance, the likelihood of establishing a parent-child relationship typically exceeds 99.9%. However, in a single-grandparent test, where only one paternal grandparent is examined instead of both, the probability of the relationship might be 92%, yet this is still regarded as a conclusive outcome. In order to increase conclusiveness, testing of both paternal grandparents (when feasible) and the inclusion of the child’s mother is advised. When both paternal grandparents and the mother take part in the testing, the probability of establishing paternity typically exceeds 99.9%.

Our normal procedure is to retain the samples for six months in case additional testing approved by the customer is necessary, and then destroy the samples. If you wish, however, you may request that we destroy all samples containing the tested persons’ DNA immediately after completing the test.

Her participation is recommended, but it is not usually required. Ideally, the mother, child, and alleged father should be tested. In situations where two alleged fathers are related, the inclusion of the mother in the testing process significantly enhances result confidence. Similarly, for other types of relationship testing, the involvement of the mother also contributes to heightened result confidence.

We guarantee to have the results ready approximately two (2) business days from receipt of samples. A shorter turnaround time of one (1) working day can be arranged for an additional charge.

Test results are accessed online by clicking the RESULTS LOGIN button. You will lo gin with the username (email) and password chosen during case setup. Please note: we do not give results over the phone nor can we send the report as an email attachment, for security reasons. If you’d like to receive your results by snail mail, you may select that option for an additional fee.

Not with this test. For results to be court admissible, chain-of-custody samples and proof of identity is required. If you need a court- admissible test, please contact us at 1-800-329-3758.

New York State has specific requirements for paternity testing including: collection by a third party under chain of custody; the specimen must be accompanied by a test order from  your physician or lawyer; and specimens must be submitted to and analyzed by a laboratory holding a NYS permit. For more information on the NYS policy, call 1-800-682-6056.
